[docs]def main(): """ The stochasticLotkaVolterra example is almost identical to the funcReacLotkaVolterra. It shows how to use function objects as part of differential equation systems in the framework of the MOOSE kinetic solvers. Here the difference is that we use a a stochastic solver. The system is interesting because it illustrates the instability of Lotka-Volterra systems in stochastic conditions. Here we see exctinction of one of the species and runaway buildup of the other. The simulation has to be halted at this point. Here the system is set up explicitly using the scripting, in normal use one would expect to use SBML. In this example we set up a Lotka-Volterra system. The equations are readily expressed as a pair of reactions each of whose rate is governed by a function:: x' = x( alpha - beta.y ) y' = -y( gamma - delta.x ) This translates into two reactions:: x ---> z Kf = beta.y - alpha y ---> z Kf = gamma - delta.x Here z is a dummy molecule whose concentration is buffered to zero. The model first runs using default Exponential Euler integration. This is not particularly accurate even with a small timestep. The model is then converted to use the deterministic Kinetic solver Ksolve. This is accurate and faster.\n Note that we cannot use the stochastic GSSA solver for this system, it cannot handle a reaction term whose rate keeps changing.
